It was noisy outside because today was the day of the Emperors' mating ceremony with their soulmate. I stood on the balcony, watching the happenings below, and everyone was busy getting ready. There were many hovers and others riding on Szol animals entering Zahiva City. So many outsiders had come just to witness a royal mating ceremony—something that hadn’t happened in a long time. Plus, since I am the soulmate of an Emperor, I heard rumors that their Goddess might appear to bless those present. I don’t know exactly how to feel right now, especially with so many Tarragons coming just to witness our mating ceremony.But I am happy it’s finally happening—especially since I’ve already marked them. Today, I will become their official mate as part of the Tarragon species. I’m so excited, and I just can’t wait!My mates weren’t here anymore. They had left early to go to the Goddess temple, where our ceremony would take place—facing the large statue of the Goddess, with an elder leading the
My body trembled in anger as I stared at the woman who was Lord Dagim’s mate. Lady Safiye, who had an unusual beauty and whom I wanted to chop the hand off for touching Izar’s arm like they were close. Wait, are they even close? Do they have history? I looked at her, and her face was expressionless, while only Cygnus was talking to her. I could feel the tension between the two, and I couldn’t shake the doubt in my mind that maybe they had a past together. What made it worse was how she acted like I wasn’t even there, happily talking to my mates with her sweet words!My wolf growled in my head, and I hid my hands as my claws began to sharpen. I just wanted to skin her alive and turn her hide into a decoration! I was startled when Izar suddenly coughed, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh. I looked at him curiously, and he winked at me. He took my hand and pulled me closer to him, his hand settling on my waist and stroking it gently. My cheeks warmed, and when I looked at Lady Safi
I helped Cygnus and Izar put on their armor that morning, and I smiled when I saw my mark on their necks. It was shaped like a crescent moon, and in the inner part was the face of my wolf. It was so beautiful, and I was really proud of myself. Now, everyone would know they belong to me. I touched Cygnus’s mark, and he shivered a little, which made me laugh. I squealed when he suddenly pulled me in and kissed me on the lips. I eagerly responded, our tongues battling and sucking at each other. The effect of the marking hadn’t worn off yet, and it was really intense when the three of us reached our climax. I still felt horny and wanted to make passionate love all day, but we had to go out and face the council regarding what happened yesterday. At the health facility, Captain Armah and several guards were watching over their mother to prevent her from escaping. We were going to visit her now before facing the council members.I let out a soft moan when we pulled apart and playfully slappe
It was already late at night and I was still awake. My mates had fallen asleep and they looked so peaceful and handsome. The room was a bit bright tonight because there were no curtains to block the light, and the sheer drapes were swaying from the wind. I slowly got up and climbed out of bed. I grabbed my robe since I was only wearing thin underwear. I put it on and walked out to the balcony. I paused when I saw the full moon—it looked so round and seemed so close to the tower. I walked all the way to the stone railings and raised my hand as if reaching for the moon.Ahhh… this feeling—when was the last time I felt something like this? The full moon was warming me up and made my body tingle all over. It was beautiful and perfect for a mating night. Back in our pack, when the moon looked this beautiful, all the couples would go out and run in the forest. I wanted to do that too with my mates, but the Goddess gave me mates from a different species. Still, I’m so happy to have them. Lik
I immediately took the Raggon berries Cygnus gave me and started eating them. I even moaned at the burst of juices in my mouth—just like how my mates burst into my mouth, and I got to taste their sweet fluid. We were all inside the hover now. I actually wanted to ride their mounts earlier, but they didn’t allow me, saying it might stress me and the babies out. Ugh, once I’ve given birth, I’ll definitely ride one of those—or maybe I’ll even get my own companion.Now that my mates are beside me, everything feels so much lighter. I don’t even know why I suddenly got so emotional last night; we were only apart for a short while. Then again, I just really want to be close to them, and I want them to feel at ease, knowing I’m safe.We’re now on our way back to the Imperial Palace after their battle with the mercenaries who were chasing us. Actually, they didn’t leave a single one alive—they didn’t capture anyone—they wiped them all out. I watched them fight, and I saw Izar, how barbaric he
“Cygnus? Izar? Can you hear me?” I froze when I heard the voice of our soulmate in our minds. I looked at Izar, whose face was full of disbelief as he held his head. “Please answer me, this might not last long. I can’t believe this is happening either, but if you’re listening, I just want you to know we’re okay. We’re all okay—we escaped the ones who took us. Actually, I attacked them and they’re both dead,” she said, and we heard a small laugh from her. I pulled my brother away from everyone so we could hear her better. We were getting ready to go to the Southlands. It’s a dead place, just sand and sand mountains, but there are still dangerous creatures living there that could be a threat to the three females if that’s where they were taken.“I’m okay. Our babies are okay. I’m already sorry for making you worry again. I hope you won’t get tired of me and that you still want to be my soulmates. Oh, and by the way, we’re here in the Southlands, hiding in a cave right now because of a s
